Information on grading of condition:

Mint = A mint item must be absolutely perfect. Certainly never been played if not still sealed. This would be an item where it was opened but not played maybe just to check the label variation.

NM = The record shows no obvious signs of wear. The vinyl should show no wear from playing and only the slightest of paper scuffs are acceptable. The jacket should look as if you just got it home from a new record store and removed the shrink-wrap.

EX, EX+ = The record or cover is clearly better than VG+ but not Near Mint. There should be some signs that the vinyl was played infrequently and otherwise handled by a previous owner who took excellent care of it. Record surfaces may show some slight signs of wear and may have light scuffs and or very minor light scratches that do not effect the listener experience at all. The label and spindle hole will be without flaws other than the lightest of spindle trails from being played only a few times if at all. The cover should be bright and sharp and will have only the very first evidence of discoloration or ring wear or creased corners. There may be some evidence of seam/spine wear but seam splits are not permitted for this grade. The jacket may be marked as a cut out by a drill hole, saw mark, cut corner or punch hole. I will list any cover flaws of significance.

VG+ = The record will show signs that the vinyl was played but taken care of. Record surfaces will show signs of wear including some light scratches/scuffs that do not significantly effect the listener experience. Slight warps that do not effect the sound are ok. Spindle holes will have some wear but not be enlarged or damaged in any way. The cover will have general wear/ring wear but not to the extent that it impairs enjoyment of the picture cover. Slight seam splits are ok for this grade. I will list any cover flaws of significance.

VG = will have many of the same defects as VG+, but will be more evident. I try to describe any reason a record is VG other than light scratches or some dulling of the finish. I also will describe the cover well enough that along with the picture, you will know why it is VG.

If the condition is worse than VG I will go into detail for that item.
